Message: <blockquote data-quote="prosfilaes" data-source="post: 3320706" data-attributes="member: 40166">Steve Jackson Games recalled Bili the Axe: Up Harzburk!; the <a href="http://www.sjgames.com/errata/gurps/horseclans/harzburk.html" target="_blank">errata page</a> says "The Horseclans solo adventure Up Harzburk! was recalled soon after publication, in early 1989, because it contained so many path errors that we did not feel it could be adequately corrected by an errata sheet."In some sense, a publisher doesn't "owe" the customers meaningful text; it's the customer's responsibility to check that everything from page 10 on isn't "lorem ipsum" or Ancient Greek. I think "owe" causes problems in these types of arguments for exactly that reason.A publisher should print a complete and correct book. If there are missing tables or stuff just doesn't work, it's the publisher's responsibility to fix it (or better yet, get it right in the first place). Furthermore, for a roleplaying game, a series of books should be consistent; if people are reading different versions of a spell or feat, it can be very frustrating and problematic.It makes me less than happy that a company has errata and instead of putting it on their website, publishes it in a book. That is less than what I feel is their responsibility. I don't feel it's their responsibility to put revised material on the web, but when rules (like spells and feats) are changed or established fact is rewritten, it's a real pain no matter how it's handled.  It should be saved for a new edition.</blockquote>
